After not having any success with this species, I was able to get this follow-up photo after hiding for awhile behind some reeds - and giving the knees a workout. Iona, Richmond, BC.

A strange occurrence - I was carefully photographing a Blue-winged Teal when I heard a distinctive song behind me. After hearing and seeing many Rose-breasted Grosbeaks in Ontario last week, it occurred to me the song might actually be this species, which I've not seen in 28 years. Sure enough, he came out of heavy shrubbery just long enough for a quick snap, then he was gone. Iona regional park, Richmond, BC.

Presqu'ile Provincial Park - I made the lengthy trip hoping to find some of these interesting birds. I had some luck in the afternoon. This is peak time for the Whimbrel flight. Presqu'ile is on the periphery of their migration. Toronto is where most of the flight passes.

Thanks to some very friendly local folks, we were able to setup shop on their front porch and watch the show! Near Troyer Road, Walsingham, Ontario, Canada.

Whiteface Mountain - We almost didn't make it to our destination, with the primary goal of seeing and photographing this rarity due to vehicle problems. In the end the result was better than we could have hoped for. This is normally a difficult bird to photograph, even when found.

Canoe Lake - the hardest thing with this species is capturing its true colour. The camera has a hard time with the intensity of the red. I actually had to tone it down a bit afterwards and may not have gotten it quite right. The bottom line is that this is a very brightly coloured bird. I had 'Point Pelee' looks at this individual which was great.
